9007 to H1 Conversion, why? - SRT Forums

escort_gtx · 10-15-2008, 03:11 PM

Hey guys,

I am curious as to why people are converting to the H1 HID bulb instead of the 9007 bulb?

I have an old phillips plug and play kit that was in my old Cobra and I am going to use for my SRT...

Also, I have another question about that. Is there a way to make it a dual filament bulb in the 9007 HID kit without switching over to a new kit?

Thanks guys,

People aren't switching over to H1 kits with stock headlights. The people running H1 bulbs have the Projector style headlights that require an H1 bulb to work and an adapter harness for the stock 9007 socket.

I'm not sure what you mean about the bi-xenon question. You can buy 9007 HIDs in either single xenon (low beam only) and bi-xenon (low and high beam). But H1 bulbs are not made to function that way....almost all H bulbs are low beam only.

^^^

thats cause they have a seperate bulb for the high.

To the OP.

Stock srt4 headlights bulbs are 9007

and the MPX projectors headlights bulbs are H1

If you run H1 bulbs for the stock headlights, does that mean you would have to retro fit them??

Just the the modern projectors... i love mine.. they take a good amount of time to adjust them but its worth it!!

ok then another question, we have a 9007 bulb, will it be possible to mat up a 9002 setup?

u can use 9007 hid kit to use on the stock or blacked out headlights so you dont have to switch over to retro's or projectors..its just like the 04-05 sti lights.they come with regular bulbs but with balists,were the 06+ comes with projectors
